When rain poured on Katie and Tim's Sunshine Coast wedding day, they still had confident, beautiful smiles on their faces. They knew it was no big deal to them at all. Their wet weather plan came into play, but of course they missed out on all of the lovely outdoor wedding party photos they had planned. However, they still were not concerned in the least. Why? Because they had a backup plan for those, too. Their amazing Sunshine Coast wedding photographer, Emma Nayler Photographer, made them a promise – as she does with all her brides – that if weather…

Subtle, soft and absolutely gorgeous is how we would describe this beautiful, understated makeup design by Tasleema Nigh Makeup Artist. She has used pretty pinks on the cheeks and lips and soft browns on the eyes to create a timeless look. The foundation itself is beautifully applied in a flawless, yet not too heavy fashion. Tasleema has over 15 years experience in makeup artistry, and works on many Sunshine Coast weddings to ensure our lovely Sunshine Coast brides feel radiant and beautiful on their special day. I know I would feel pretty amazing if I looked like this on my wedding…

Ooh, we have a goodie for you today, my lovely Sunshine Coast brides! AWPP (Australian Wedding and Professional Photography) are Sunshine Coast wedding photographers worth raving about. Just take a look at this gahmayzing photo, taken at a Flaxton Gardens wedding, a hinterland wedding venue we love with all our hearts. This location with the stunning view of the deep blue sky with a glorious full moon and the lights of the Sunshine Coast below… well, we can't say enough flattering adjectives about this photo! So instead, let's allow it to speak for itself. After all, they do say a…

Let me tell you a little something about owls. No, really, stay with me – this is relevant to weddings! Owls traditionally are a very respected creature in many countries across the globe. The Greeks believed owls represent status, intelligence and wealth. In Celtic, Egyptian and Hindu cultures, the owl is representative of guardianship. In our western culture, they denote all kinds of meaning, like wisdom, mysticism, transition and protection. In all, the owl is a creature many respect, and they definitely have an undeniable magical sense about them. Having an owl as part of your wedding may seem like a…

Why wait until your Sunshine Coast wedding day to start wowing your guests? You can capture them from first glance when they get their mitts on your wow wedding stationery. We really love anything paper at The Bride's Tree, and particularly love a beautifully designed wedding invitation on card or paper you just want to run your fingers over. You know when you get an invitation like that and you really just want to keep touching it, but you also don't want to, incase you wreck it? And then if someone else wants to touch it, all of a sudden it's…

If there is any time in your life when you want to be organised, it's now. Right now, while you are planning one of the biggest events of your life. Perhaps the biggest event of your life! Your Sunshine Coast wedding day absolutely must be planned to a tee. It's time to get your act together. I'm sorry, but it's true. Tough love on The Bride's Tree today! Okay, so we are still the kind bloggers you have come to know and love, (you do love us, right? Right?), we have something to help you get organised fast. It's a…

When thinking of a theme for your wedding, it doesn't all have to be about the colours and the bombonieres, and how you will decorate the joint up. You can also have your guests get involved and bring a bit of the styling on their person. No, I'm not suggesting you do an all-white party wedding, Jay-Z or P.Diddy-style (or whoever it is, who hosts these ludacris events.) Personally, I think limiting your entire guest list to wearing but one colour is a bit over-the-top and potentially stressful for them. You could, however, ask them to get into the spirit of…

We know what you're thinking. You want the dress of all dresses, the one that fits you like a glove, a unique design unseen before. I hate to tell you this, but you're describing a couture wedding gown. A specially-designed dress that's yours and yours alone. Made just for you to your measurements to perfectly compliment your own frame and have everything you always wanted in a wedding gown. It's going to cost an arm and a leg, right? And of course this is not something you can have here on the Sunshine Coast, right? Wrong! Now, here's something I…

Sunshine Coast brides love flawless, radiant skin on their wedding day. I would have to agree that Angela here got just that for her wedding day, thanks to Sunshine Coast wedding Makeup Artist, Allure Hair and Beauty Spa. Angela has some seriously stunning baby blues, so this pretty makeup design places a little emphasis on the eyes, complimented by softly blushing cheeks and a nude pallette. Perfect for a Sunshine Coast hinterland wedding at Maleny Manor. Photo by Chesterton Smith Photography.

I really adore a man in a black skinny tie. There is something classic, romantic and ultra stylish about the black suit, crisp white shirt and the simplicity of the black skinny tie. I think with weddings, it's particularly lovely, because the black compliments the white of the wedding dress and allows the bride to shine. And boy, does this bride shine in her tulle skirt of her wedding dress! Love it! To me, this photo is a real celebration. The groom is ecstatic with his beautiful bride, the bride herself is blissfully satisfied and at peace with her new…
